New Beauty Summer 2011

The Pomegranate De-Bump Salt Buff was featured in the Summer/Fall edition of New Beauty magazine in the Spa Finder section in a story about picking the perfect body scrub.

People Magazine

NewBeauty.com: Banish Body Bumps for Good

Unsightly body bumps, breakouts, rough patches and dry skin are never good, but, as the summer months approach, they start to wreak serious havoc—especially when it comes to wearing tanks, short-sleeves and swimsuits—and put a stop to pretty much any warm-weather clothing options.

But Clarisea's new Pomegranate De-Bump Salt Buff for Body tackles all of the above and then some. The creamy consistency looks gentle, but the ingredients—it's packed with Dead Sea salt, glycolic acid, pomegranate extract, green tea and skin-healer Brazilian Buriti palm tree oil—are seriously powerful and specifically formulated to banish bumps while rebalancing the skin to get it summer-ready. (And founder and former bump-sufferer Alison Ruth knows a skin-care formula that works when she finds one, as she tested dozens of different salt blends before choosing a blend to build her product line around.)

Lovelyish: Get Clear Skin With Clarisea

Have you ever noticed that when you get home from a day at the beach, your skin is much clearer and softer thanks to the natural cleansing effects of salt water? If you have, and you wish you could get that feeling without having to go to the ocean, I have found the product for you: Clarisea SeaSalt Exfoliating Scrub Cleanser. This scrub packs a powerful punch with salicylic acid to clear away blemishes, and vitamin E to help heal and repair skin cells. Massage this cleanser onto your skin every time you shower to reveal clean, clear, healthy skin. A quick tip: Add a few dollops of this scrub into your regular body wash to add a little extra lather with the same healthy skin benefits.

Mischo Beauty Loves Clarisea Salt Scrub

Because I love sharing the "wonders of exfoliation" (yes, I believe in exfoliation) it was only natural that I visited Clarisea's booth while at the ISPA expo. Believe it or not, I'd never heard of Clarisea, which was created to treat acneic skin types/conditions - both face and body. Now I don't have issues with acne, but I can appreciate the benefits of a great scrub for the body, so I decided to give the Body Scrub a try. I applied it to my dry skin before showering (for a more thorough exfoliation), and followed it with my body wash and a creamy body butter. I was more than pleased with my results!

Iron Vital for Overall Health Including SKIN!

This mostly goes out to the women of the world since we are more susceptible to iron-deficiency anemia than men. But everyone can benefit from including healthy levels of iron in their diets. After all it's our overall health and wellness that is often reflected in our complexions. The better we take care of our bodies, the more natural and nutrient rich foods we eat, the better our skin looks.

Some good sources of iron: spinach, kidney beans, baked beans, peas and apricots. Certain cereals and whole grains are fortified with iron too. Eat your iron rich foods along with oranges, grapefruit, tomatoes and broccoli. The Vitamin C allows for better iron absorption. Your skin will look more radiant and toned in no time!

Best Supplements for your Skin

What are the best supplements for your skin? In my personal experience Vitamin C, Iron, Vitamin D and Fish Oils top the list.

Another big plus for Vitamin C: it is a critical component for the production of collagen, an essential skin protein. If collagen is not produced, your skin will sag and appear dull. By increasing the production of collagen, Vitamin C strengthens the structural support and resiliency of your skin. Collagen is equally critical for connective tissue in organs, bones, teeth - virtually everywhere in the body. Adding a healthy dose of Vitamin C to your diet and using facial products that contain vitamin C can help you feel better, reduce wrinkles, and improve your overall skin quality.

Monday's tip is all about the benefits of Iron.

Starting Today Clarisea's Daily Skin Tips

Here at Clarisea, we have amassed a collection of diverse skincare knowledge to share with you in the form of daily skin care tips on everything from the best skin foods to the best moisturizer for oily skin and the best ways to use the Clarifying Salt Treatment. Let's start with the food. It's always a favorite!

According to the Mayo Clinic, research suggests that a diet rich in vitamin C and low in fats and carbohydrates may promote younger looking skin. I agree with the vitamin C, but the rest is kind of vague. Here's a more specific list of some foods you can start eating today to see an improvement in your skin tomorrow. Just like anything else in life, the more disciplined you are with your food choices every day, the happier you will be with your skin.

Pinto beans and garlic have excellent anti-inflammatory properties. If you have patches of redness on your face try the beans and look into a garlic supplement rather than adding it organically to your diet every day. That may be difficult and smelly! There are odor free supplements.

If your goal is to get rid of a little under eye saggy-ness and generally tighten things up, try eating salmon a couple times a week along with an avocado, fresh veggies and rice. Salmon is also anti-inflammatory and has that coveted "lifting" effect. Also, get rid of heavy bread and bagel carbs (as often as possible) and drink at least eight 8 oz glasses of water a day and your eyes will look renewed!

How it all Began!

A message from Clarisea's founder: Hi, I'm Alison! I had terrible acne starting in high school and through my mid twenties. I tried all types of treatments just like everyone else: Neutrogena, ProActiv, Murad, Differin, Retin-A and antibiotics. Neutrogena and Clean & Clear and everything else in the pharmacy store either did not do enough or made my skin red and flaky. When I used ProActiv I could hardly open my eyes in the morning because they were so swollen from the heavy dose of Benzoyl Peroxide. And the entire left side of my face was puffy. It took weeks for my skin to return to normal after using Murad. Too much Salicylic Acid. Differin didn't do anything, all the dermatologist prescriptions were too harsh for my sensitive skin-I would always get beet red and start peeling-and the antibiotics made my legs and teeth turn purple!!!

I struggled and struggled through high school and college, wasting so much money on products that did not work. If I had only known then what I know now.....

To make matters worse, I was also an obsessive compulsive skin picker. I picked at everything, creating sores all over my body, which is why I was even more motivated to find a solution that I could always rely on to clear up my skin and keep it clear so I would not keep trying to do it myself while leaving behind a messy trail of scars. That's exactly what my products did and still do for me on a daily basis. Long story short about how the products came to be: I was at the beach for a month one summer after college and the ocean water was unusually warm the entire month of July so I was going for a swim a couple times every day. I noticed my skin was clearing up! When the summer was over I drove to the beach every week to bring back buckets full of ocean water because I didn't want to give up my one reliable remedy. That became too time consuming so I started taking sea salt baths in hopes of recreating the ocean in my bath tub. I experimented with many different types of sea salts and blended different ones together until I found the perfect mix. To this day, whenever I have a couple breakouts on my face or back from sweat or all the crazy creams I'm always trying (it's my job, ok), I take a bath and like magic, when I wake up in the morning, my breakouts are gone or on their way to being gone.

When I first started taking sea salt baths, my skin was REALLY bad, so it took about 3 or 4 months of consistent baths to really get it clear and now it's just maintenance. I don't take as many and I probably would only have to take 1 every couple weeks if skincare wasn't my livelihood....

HERE'S THE REGIMEN I RECOMMEND TO GET CLEAR SKIN IN 6-8 WEEKS:

FACE: If you have a bath tub:

3 baths per week with Clarisea Salts. You can experiment with different amounts to see how much you need to clear up your skin-it's different for everyone.

Use the Clarisea Purifying Cleanser for Face during each bath and every morning so twice a day. It contains only 0.5% Salicylic Acid so you will not turn red and your skin will not flake. It contains Vitamin E microbead millicapsules which gently slough away the dead skin cells and surface "junk" while soothing skin. You want to use the cleanser in the middle of your bath because the salts bring a ton of impurities and dead skin cells to the surface each time you soak so after about 5 minutes of soaking you want to flush that all off with the cleanser and then soak some more because now the salts will really be able to get down deep, fight that acne causing bacteria and draw even more out because the surface "junk" is out of the way.

Use the Perfecting Clay Mask 3 times a week or as needed. It's a water based mask, much more gentle than ProActiv, Murad and store bought masks. It will purge your pores even more and balance your skin's moisture levels so your skin will look mattified. It's great to use at the end of the day or right before you go out because moisturizers and makeup go on much smoother and purer.

If you don't have a bath tub, you can order a starter system and soak your face in Clarisea's handy collapsible bowl or use the Continuous Sprayer-it sprays salty water all over your face with just one touch.

Sometimes I like to use the salt as a natural cleanser and exfoliant so I just take a clump of salt, add a tiny bit of water, and VERY GENTLY massage it into my skin for just a few seconds and promptly rinse off. Follow with the cleanser and the mask and an oil free moisturizer. You will not believe how soft and supple and clear your skin looks!

I do not recommend soaking your face in any other salt but Clarisea salt. Dead Sea Salt, Epsom Salt and other Sea Salts that you find in your local store or on the internet are too harsh-they do not have the right mineral balance. Your skin will turn red, look irritated and dry out. Good luck and let me know how it goes!!

-Alison
